Rubio says Israel-Lebanon peace deal is achievable but Hezbollah is a problem

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that peace between Israel and Lebanon was achievable but that the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was a problem.

"By and large, I think a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel is imminently achievable, and should be," Rubio told reporters at the White House.

"The problem with Israel and Lebanon is not Israel or Lebanon, it's Hezbollah," he added.
